SIPquest Receives INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazines - Product of the Year - Award for 2004
23 December 2004SIPquest, a leading developer of SIP-based IP Telephony software components and applications announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC®)'s INTERNET TELEPHONY® magazine (www.itmag.com) has named SIPquest as a recipient of a 2004 Product of the Year Award. INTERNET TELEPHONY has been the VoIP Authority Since 1998(TM).
The SIPquest VoWiFi Fast Handover software application is a unique approach in solving the VoWiFi roaming dilemma. The client software resides entirely on the handsets/PDAs and allows enterprise users to roam in a multivendor WiFi Access Point environment with less than 10ms fast handover latency. It is helping drive true mobility and the adoption of VoIP and advanced IP Telephony applications such as unified messaging and presence directly on WiFi handsets.
Until now, when users of WiFi devices move out of range of one Access Point (AP) into the range of another the handover latency could be between 400ms and 600ms; a delay not acceptable for voice service. The SIPquest software is composed of algorithms that reduce the handover latency between APs to less than 10 milliseconds, independent of the manufacturer of APs used. Alternate deployment options restrict enterprises into a single WiFi vendor-specific solution.
"Our solution is unique. Chipset and handset manufacturers can embed the SIPquest WiFi Fast Handover as well as our soft client, the SIPquest Mobile Collaboration Agent into their WiFi devices to gain and deliver mobility to end users in multivendor access point environments" said Alain Mouttham, chief executive officer, SIPquest Inc.
"We are pleased to be recognized as INTERNET TELEPHONY's® product of the year," continued Mr. Mouttham. "Our team is dedicated to delivering innovative software client and server applications. In partnership with Professor Henning Schulzrinne, lead co-author of SIP, and Columbia University the teams have delivered the industry's first software-only client solution for VoWiFi roaming. We are already working on products extending this offering that will solve the WiFi-to-Cellular fast handover challenge. Soon users will freely roam, without degraded or loss of service of their VoWiFi call, from the office to a HotZone/hotspot to a cellular network and then back again to the office."
"Each year INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine bestows its Product of the Year awards on companies that have demonstrated excellence in technological advancement and application refinements. SIPquest has demonstrated to the editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY that its products or services are committed to quality and innovation while addressing the real needs in the marketplace," said Rich Tehrani, Group Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY.
The Product of the Year Award winners for 2004 will be published in the January 2005 issue of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.
